InstaNatural Age-Defying Retinol Serum review


If you've kept up with my reviews, I've been a fan of InstaNatural skin care products. I love that they carry products that contain effective ingredients without unnecessary fillers. An added bonus for me is the simple packaging.

I recently had a chance to try out their Age-Defying Retinol Serum which contains a blend of antioxidants and nutrients that help the condition of your skin.

This 1 ounce serum contains retinol (vitamin a) which not only helps protect against free-radical damage but also works on your current skin issues by slowly resurfacing it. Vitamin C also helps with protection against damage and fixing skin pigmentation while hyaluronic acid keeps your skin moisturized.

I've previously used retinol/retinoid in my skin care routine and had zero change. This was over a 2 year period and one of the few times I kept up with a single product for that long. Same for several 20% vitamin c serums. So I did not expect much results from this serum. However, I was surprised that after 2 weeks, I did notice that my scarring on my forehead has lightened and a icepick/pock scar had become less deep.

I think my skin did better with this serum because of 2 things. One is that my skin may have been used to each individual key ingriedients (vitamin c, retinol, hyaluronic acid) so a mix of the 3 gave that extra push to affect my skin and help it. Next, I think because of regular chemical peels, my skin was able to heal and become better rather than if I used the serum on "bare skin" that had not gone through. micro-dermabrasion.

After trying this out consistently, I can definitely see an improvement in my acne scars. I will continue to use this post-chemical peels and hope that my skin issues will become better.

If you aren't allergic to the ingredients and suffer from issues like hyperpigmentation/acne scars, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, etc. I would recommend trying this serum out which comes with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee from InstaNatural.

InstaNatural Retinol Moisturizer review

I had a chance to try out InstaNatural's Retinol Moisturizer and wanted to see if it would help with my dermatitis and acne scars.
This moisturizer contains the maximum strength concentration of retinol (vitamin a) which helps to fight free-radicals that damage your skin. It also has other key ingriedients like vitamin c, green tea, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil and shea butter.

InstaNatural's Retinol Moisturizer comes in a 3.4 ounce bottle which is huge! I would think that the size is almost too big but because I use this twice a day mainly on my face and neck and occasionally on my knee where I have a huge scar, this bottle might last me up to 6 months; which is the maximum I like to use any skin care product because effectiveness rapidly goes down with more exposure to air, etc.

So far, I have used this moisturizer twice a day after washing my face (and body). For days that I'll be doing a chemical peel, I skip this 1 full day before and after. I haven't broken out or experienced any side effects from using this post-peel. For best results, I would recommend using this with InstaNatural's retinol serum to target any trouble spots.

My oily-combo skin has gotten better with less oiliness/dullness. It keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day without becoming greasy or tight. Overall, this is a great moisturizer for my skin and I'll continue to use it in my skin care routine.
